FMSky I find it risible that Wikipedia would include a retrospectively reputational rehabilitative statement made on some guy's podcast.

but that's just me soibangla (talk) 06:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

on second thought and after reading his statements in Behind the Music i agree its BS --FMSky (talk) 07:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nugent is known for his use...his bluesy and frenzied guitar playing...

There is really no influence of the blues on the guitar playing of Ted Nugent. Blues rock guitarist tend to be people like Duane Allman and Stevue Ray Vaughn. I have seen Ted Nugent in concert. His music is frenzied, and influenced by psychedelic rock, particularly with the Amboy Dukes. But in no way is the blues an influence on Ted Nugent. Robbo10 (talk) 21:26, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Several observers have described Nugent's blues foundation, for instance Joe Viglione saying Nugent started with a blues base when he was with Amboy Dukes, then he expanded to include hard rock by the time of Tooth, Fang & Claw. Punk rocker Lou Koller of Sick of It All said he was influenced by Nugent but was "sorely disappointed at how bluesy rock" some of his albums could be. In 1995, Billboard magazine reviewed Spirit of the Wild and said "much of the music here gently plumbs a bluesy vein", especially the track "I Shoot Back". Guitar magazine editor Pete Prown said Nugent "mixed post-Clapton blues licks with '70s-era metal riffing". I'm sure there's more than that out there.

Well, I do not personally see significant influence of the blues on the guitar playing of Ted Nugent, you have provided significant evidence that Ted Nugent is "known for his bluesy…" - even if not by me.

Peace. 🙂 WikoRobbo10 (talk) 22:32, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
